有句老話是時間等于金錢。但時間真的一定等于金錢嗎?未必。首先時間比金錢寶貴。金錢花完還可以再掙，而時間如果浪費了就一去不復(fù)返了。因此某種程度上，時間是無價的。其次，并不是所有的時間都能變?yōu)榻疱X。有些人整日游手好閑，他們的時間是用來浪費的，而不是用來掙錢的，最終將一無所得。因此務(wù)必要記住，只有努力工作，時間才能等于金錢。
As a popular saying goes, "Time is money." But does time definitely meanmoney? I don't think so. First of all, time is more precious than money. Whenmoney is spent, you can earn it back if you want to. However,when time is gone,it will never come back. To some extent, time is priceless. Second, not all timecan be turned into money in the end. Some persons are idling all the time. Theirtime is just for wasting, not for earning money. They will end in nothing atlast. So be sure to remember that time can be turned into money only with hardwork involved in it.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, teachers and my fellow friends. The title of the speech that i‘m going to talk about is on money and health. Now as you see, we have a society where people just concentrate on earning money to pay off their mortgage, credit cards, holiday expanses etc, most of them fail to notice the gradual decline in their health. To them money is much much more important than health. As it says, " money is the root of all evil." I agree with it. Therefore, it is now time for us to watch out for our health and treasure our body! Thank you!

We should make money and spend it in a reasonable way.
Money is necessary in our life. We will have a rich life when we have much money.

金錢的價值英語演講 篇6
It is quite imporlant to be a good listener. effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking. its being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond.
Slowing down your responses and becoming a better listener aids you in becoming a more amiable person. as you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish, as you simply listen more intently to what is being said, you will feel more relaed, and so will the people you are talking to. not only will being a better listener make you a more patient person, but it will also improve your relationship with others because everyone loves to talk to someone who truly listens to what they are saying.
It is quite easy for you to be a better listener. as long as you for get yourself and imagine yourself in the speakers eperience to understand the emotion behind the words, and then give your appropriate responses slowly, you will be an endeared listener.

金錢的價值英語演講 篇8
Dear leaders, teachers and students：
Good evening,everyone!
Falling leaves and returning to their roots, that is to be grateful for the cultivation of soil; The suckling sheep kneels down to the mother, which is to be grateful for the feeding of the ewe. The grace of parents' upbringing, teachers' education, the cultivation of the country and the care of friends all need us to cherish with our lives, thank with our sincere hearts and repay with practical actions. This is what I call gratitude, gratitude to others.
Gratitude is a basic conjecture of life, an embodiment of the quality of life and the basis for the beauty of all life. Gratitude is a great wisdom in life, which can make us feel the beauty of nature and life, maintain our positive, healthy and sunny state of mind, and have gratitude. We will be less picky about others and more appreciative and grateful to the environment.
If you are not grateful, happiness is far away;
If you will be grateful, happiness will be full.
Students, let's always be grateful; Cherish every gift of life, report to others with our true and beloved hearts, love the collective, contribute to the society, appreciate life and explore life!
Thank you!

However, recently years campus security is being threatened. Some extremly people, who have suffered something bad will take revenge on the society.

然而，近年來校園安全受到威脅。一些經(jīng)歷過一些災(zāi)難的極端的人會報復(fù)社會。因為他們認(rèn)為他們的不幸都是社會的錯。學(xué)校對社會很重要而且學(xué)生是弱勢群體，他們沒有太多的反擊能力。所以他們可以很容易地成功報復(fù)。此外，一些教師的素質(zhì)不好，使得學(xué)生在學(xué)校無法得到良好的教育或者影響到他們善良的心靈。更糟糕的是，一些學(xué)�？赡軙l(fā)生虐童現(xiàn)象。也有一些意外會威脅到校園安全。
It’s high time that we should take measures to keep a safe campus. First of all, the school should hire more responsible gate keeper and make specific rules to prevent the social people from coming into the campus. Secondly, when hiring new teachers, the school should not only consider the teachering skill but also the personal quality. The school also have to make some speech for students to increase their safe consciousness.

In general, campus security is very important that need all of us to make effort to achieve it. The measures mentioned above are just parts of keeping campus security. I hope people from all walks of life can give their hands to help the student grow healthly.
總的來說，校園安全是非常重要的，需要我們每個人的努力去實現(xiàn)。上述舉措只是保持校園安全的一部分。我希望社會各界人士能伸出援手來幫助學(xué)生們健康成長。
金錢的價值英語演講 篇10
Teachers and parents are working together to ensure the health and well-being of all children. Schools are really safe places for children to be, and they are the heart of the community. Let's make sure they stay that way.Fortunately, schools, parents, and communities are finding practical ways to provide children the safe and disciplined conditions they need and should expect to find in school, such as by promoting smaller schools, respectful communities, fair and rigorously enforced discipline codes, teacher training to deal with violence, school uniforms, and after-school programs that keep kids productive and off the streets.We must get violence out of our schools, and we must put discipline and learning back in them

the human beings are stepping into the information society. the information industry develops very rapidly, so do the hackers, trick-playing teens, exploring children, fraudsters, and serious white-collar criminals. thus, information security becomes an impending important issue.
人類步入信息社會。信息產(chǎn)業(yè)的發(fā)展非常迅速，黑客，特技播放的青少年，探索兒童，騙子，和嚴(yán)重的白領(lǐng)罪犯也是一樣。因此，信息安全成為一個迫在眉睫的重要問題。
in case of information breach, the victims-government department, an organization or an institution, or a company will inevitably suffer great or small loss. government may be threatened with national security. companies may lose opportunities to develop new projects. and the public’s and users’ confidence will be damaged.
一旦信息被打破，受害者——政府部門，組織或機構(gòu)，或大或小的公司將不可避免地遭受損失。政府可能會威脅到國家安全。公司可能會失去開發(fā)新項目的機會。與公眾和用戶的信心將被損壞。
then how to deal with this issue? technology is only a partial solution to information security. what’s more important is that organizations and companies should promote the awareness on information security to its staff. however, since no system can ever be 100 percent secure, a prevention-only approach to information security management is not enough. companies and organizations should adopt a dual approach to information security management by combing prevention and detection techniques
那么如何處理這個問題?技術(shù)只是解決信息安全的一部分。更重要的是組織和公司應(yīng)促進(jìn)其工作人員的信息安全意識。然而，由于沒有系統(tǒng)能百分之百的安全，只有一個保護(hù)信息安全管理的方法是不夠的。公司和組織應(yīng)該通過預(yù)防和檢測技術(shù)相結(jié)合采取一個信息安全管理的二元的方法。

Recently,haze weather has become a daily one right here in large part of China.People are forced to wear the mask to avoid breathing poisonous air.So it is necessary to find out the reason why leads to that and work out the resolution.If we trace the cause for haze weather ,the main points are as follows ,first,china s air quality standards are rather lax and evaluation factors are limited,so you will see that current air appraisal system has defects.Second,some people just go for economic interests instead of turning out products according to relevant law and regulations.They tend to use obsolete equipment in which they are high likely to emit a great deal of wasted air.
Third,across our society ,relevant protection awareness has not built up so that people havent formed a habit of using green product and saving energy as much as possible.Just for the sake of convience to go out,people rely more and more on travelling and working of car while car is the main cause for the haze weather
To settle this problem,a series of meaures should be taken as follows.First ,we should strengthen air monitor to lower the levels of small particulate pollutants.Second,we should enact more strict laws and regulations and keep perfecting our current law on environmental protection to regulate people s daily action and the industrial production and punish those factories that ignore the protection and keep emitting dangerous material that cause haze.
Third,we should develop green and energy-saving energy to lower the emission of haze and improve air quality.As far as i am concerned ,if we work together to be able to do such measures ,our environment will getting better and better and haze weather will vanish completely.

金錢的價值英語演講 篇16
創(chuàng)新，一個我們耳熟能詳?shù)脑~。尤其是這樣一個飛速發(fā)展的時代，這個詞時時撞擊我們的耳膜。但是，創(chuàng)新，其豐富的內(nèi)涵，卻是許多人盡其一生孜孜以求，也未必可以充分了解的。
朋友，你認(rèn)識創(chuàng)新嗎?
創(chuàng)新其實是一個夢想。
中國古代曾有一個人，背負(fù)紙做的翅膀，義無反顧地縱身跳下高高的山崖，希冀像鳥兒一樣飛翔在晴空。在粉身碎骨跳下的一瞬間，他是否隱約看到了碧空中可以自由翱翔的飛機?
英國有一位作家，在他一生的作品中，盡情幻想，將熱氣球、潛水艇、電報提前了幾十、甚至幾百年帶入我們的生活。在凡爾納下筆的一剎那，他是否已經(jīng)預(yù)先看到了遙遠(yuǎn)的未來?
夢想標(biāo)示著豐富的想象力，想象力為創(chuàng)新提供源泉。創(chuàng)新從夢想中蛻變，以夢想為根，受夢想澆灌。像永不失天真的愛因斯坦吹出的肥皂泡，在空冥的大地上，不斷破滅又不斷上升。
創(chuàng)新需要懷疑與批判。
懷疑是創(chuàng)新的萌芽，批判是創(chuàng)新的成長。在懷疑中發(fā)現(xiàn)錯誤，在批判中改正錯誤，創(chuàng)新才能完成。然而懷疑的精神、批判的勇氣，人們?yōu)橹冻隽颂嗵唷?/p>
1543年的春天，人們震驚了，一個人，他居然宣稱地球是圍繞太陽轉(zhuǎn)的。上帝啊!讓這個人不得好死。人們肆意地嘲笑，詛咒。
終于，詛咒靈驗了，六十七年后的一天，在美麗的羅馬鮮花廣場，那個虔誠地捍衛(wèi)并發(fā)展了太陽中心學(xué)說的布魯諾被高高地綁在十字架上。一個火把投向他，燒焦的肉體發(fā)出一陣陣異味。死亡的氣息在游蕩。突然，一個聲音從那扭曲的身軀中迸發(fā)出來：“火并不能把我征服，未來的世界會了解我，知道我的價值。”
是的，火并沒有征服他，那憤怒的火焰，那毀滅的火焰，只能把掛在偽真理臉上的面具燒焦。彌漫在鮮花廣場的灰燼不愿散去，它要告訴我們：創(chuàng)新，踏著用生命證明了的懷疑與批判，終究會打破傳統(tǒng)的桎梏，得到永生。
創(chuàng)新要求深刻。
我們都知道，阿基米德在洗澡時發(fā)現(xiàn)了浮力定律，成就了科學(xué)史上的一段美談�？墒俏覀兪欠襁�記得曹沖稱象的故事?那可愛的孩子也不自覺地運用著浮力定律。然而，后者只被當(dāng)成一個睡前故事流傳于孩子們的枕邊，前者卻孕育了物理學(xué)的一個基本原理。
有時候，創(chuàng)新并不是很難，說不準(zhǔn)什么時候，一個思想的火花閃過，創(chuàng)新就來到眼前�？苫鸹ú荒荛L久，創(chuàng)新卻要求永恒。于是創(chuàng)新要求深刻的思考，追求本質(zhì)的東西，要求我們更進(jìn)一步地去挖掘它具有的創(chuàng)新意識。
然而挖掘不是最難，最難的是那意識的產(chǎn)生。你一定游過泳，一定玩過水，你一定感受到過水的壓力，但你能說，你可以造出浮力定律嗎?甚至你敢說，會想到用水來稱象嗎?恐怕不敢吧?生活中許多事情就是這樣，在你經(jīng)歷時，就已觸摸到創(chuàng)新的邊緣了，然而我們卻沒有那個觀念，有意識地將創(chuàng)新完成。
作為大學(xué)生，我們的知識仍然貧乏，也許我們不能有多少偉大的具體的創(chuàng)新。但是我們一定要培養(yǎng)我們的創(chuàng)新意識。這意識中包含著許多內(nèi)容。首先，我們要學(xué)會夢想，學(xué)會不為現(xiàn)實堵塞我們的天真，不時地做一做童年的夢，想一想飛上火星的浪漫，想一想生活于外太空的美妙。不要只盯著別墅、跑車，做物質(zhì)的奴隸。然后，讓我們學(xué)會懷疑與批判。不要嚇倒在老師那威嚴(yán)的面孔下，不要認(rèn)為凡是印成了鉛字的東西就是真理。昆德拉說：“人類一思考，上帝就發(fā)笑。”相信自己，堅持懷疑，敢于批判，不懼權(quán)威，方顯英雄本色。再次，讓我們深沉一下，穩(wěn)重一點，不妨壓抑一下青春的律動，多思考一些東西，多研究一些學(xué)問，不要有了一個奇特的創(chuàng)意，一個未聞的發(fā)現(xiàn)就妄自高興，而到實踐時卻束手無策。最后也是最重要的，就是要培養(yǎng)自己的創(chuàng)新意識，尤其是對專業(yè)中新事物的敏感度。倫琴因為一張被感光了的底片，意識到X射線的存在，最終獲得第一屆諾貝爾獎，牛頓因為一只落下的蘋果而發(fā)現(xiàn)萬有引力。他們對于專業(yè)的敏銳，是我們在學(xué)習(xí)中真正要掌握到手的知識。
認(rèn)識創(chuàng)新。“認(rèn)”是一個認(rèn)知，明白其表象的過程;而“識”是一個理解，探索其本質(zhì)含義的過程。認(rèn)識創(chuàng)新，我們不僅僅要“認(rèn)”，更重要的是要“識”。
Innovation, one we are familiar with the word .In particular, this is an era of
rapid development , the word always hit our eardrums . However , innovation and its rich connotation, is that many people do their assiduous life , it may not be able to fully understand.Friend , do you know innovation ?
Innovation is actually a dream.
Ancient China had a man ,burdened wings made of paper , hesitate to jump as high cliff , hoping to fly like a bird in the clear sky . Jumped in pieces at the moment whether
he could vaguely see the blue sky in the freedom of flying airplanes?
Britain has a writer, works in his lifetime , enjoy fantasy, the hot air balloon , submarine ,telegraph ahead of dozens , or even hundreds of years into our lives.
Verne pen down at the moment ,whether he had previously seen the distant future ? Dreams marked rich imagination , imagination as a source of innovation . Innovative transformation from dream to dream is the root, watered by the dream . Einstein never lost innocence like blowing soap bubbles in the air offerings of the earth,constantly shattered and constantly rising .
Innovation requires suspicion and criticism .Suspected to be the seeds of innovation , critical innovation growth. Errors found in doubt , correct the error in the criticism , innovation to complete.
However, skepticism , criticism of courage, people pay the price too much. The spring of 1543 , people shocked , a person, he actually claimed that the earth revolves around the sun .
God, ah ! Let this person Budehaosi . People wanton laugh ,curse.Finally ,the curse come true , the day after 1978 , in the beautiful Rome Campo de 'Fiori, the religiously defended and developed the center of the sun is high in the doctrine of Bruno tied to the cross. A torch toward him, and sent waves smell of burnt flesh . The smell of death in the wandering . Suddenly, a voice from that distorted body burst out : "Fire does not make me conquer the future of the world will know me , and know my worth ."
Yes, the fights did not conquer
him, and that the flames of anger , and that the destruction of the flame , only
to hang in the pseudo- truth face mask burning. Filled in the
Campo de 'Fiori reluctant to disperse the ashes , it has to tell us: innovation
, marching with his life proved suspicion and criticism , will eventually break
the traditional shackles and have eternal life.
Innovation requires profound .
We all know that in the bath
Archimedes discovered the law of buoyancy , the achievements of science in the
history of a brother's wife. But we still
remember Cao Chong said the elephant story ? Lovely children do not consciously use the law of
buoyancy . However, the latter only as a
bedtime story being circulated in the children's pillow , the former has given
birth to one of the basic principles of physics .
Sometimes, innovation is not
difficult , can not say what time the spark of an idea flashed , innovation came
to hand. Sparks can not last long , but
innovation requires eternity. So innovation requires deep
thinking , the pursuit of the essence of things, require us to dig further it
has a sense of innovation .
However, mining is not the most difficult , the most difficult is that conscious generation. You must swam , played some water, you will feel the pressure over the water , but you can say that you can create buoyancy do ? Even if you say , think of water as it came to be called ? I'm afraid not , right ? Is so many things in life , in your experiences, had to touch the edge of innovation , yet we do not have that concept , consciously innovative complete.
As college students, our knowledge is still poor , maybe we can not have a great number of specific innovations.
But we must nurture our sense of innovation . It contains many elements of consciousness .
First, we must learn to dream , learn not reality clogging our innocence, from time to time to make a childhood dream to do , think about Mars fly romantic , think about the beauty of living in outer space . Do not just stare at the villa , sports car, doing physical slaves. Then, let us learn to doubt and criticism . Do not intimidated by the teacher that majestic face , do not think that all printed in lead type stuff is the truth. Kundera said: " a thinking human beings , God laughs ." Believe in yourself, doubts persist , the courage to criticize , fear of authority , the hero character . Again,let us look deep , steady light, it may look youthful rhythm depressed ,thinking something more to study some knowledge , do not have a strange idea, anunheard of discovery to pretend happy, but to practice Shique helpless. Finally, and most important , is to develop their own sense of innovation, especially for professionals in the sensitivity of new things . Roentgen because one is a photographic negatives and realized the existence of X-rays , and ultimately won the first Nobel Prize , Newton as a falling apple and discovered gravity . They professional
acumen is that we really want to master in learning hand knowledge.Recognizing innovation . "Recognize " is a perception,understand the process of representation ; and " knowledge" is an understanding of the process of exploring its essential meaning . Recognizing innovation, we not only want to"recognize ", but it is important to " know ."

honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
it is a great honor and pleasure to be here on this beautiful saturday morning to share with you my sentiments about life and passion for the english language.
about a year and a half ago, i took part in my very first english speech contest. when i stood before the microphone with all eyes starring directly at me, i could hardly speak. i stood there, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say. my fears had paralyzed me.
while my passion for english has never changed, i lost my courage to speak in public. when my professor again encouraged me to take part in this competition, i said “no.” i couldn’t endure yet another painful experience. he looked me straight in the eye and said something that pierced my heart. i will never forget his words. “l(fā)ook,” he said, “we all have our fears, and you have yours. you could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again. running away can never dispel your fears, but action will. a winner is not one who never fails，but one who never quits.”
i spent a whole day with his words twisting and turning in my mind. then i made the bravest and wisest decision of my life: i would face my fears –and take part in the competition!
as it turned out, my dear old professor was right. now, here i am, once again standing before a microphone. my heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, i have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!
